                  Specimen #01118, 10/13/2000 
                  Wingspan: 5 inches 
                  Composition: Teal niobium wire, copper wire, steel 
                    utility blades 
                  Collection site: Blue Grotto, Iceland 
                  Comments: The rigid lines of this dragonfly remind 
                    me of some sort of quasi-military aerial transport, although 
                    the contrasting teal and copper stand out too much for that.
